留白 - LEAVE BLANK

 


盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen Photographe


曾聽過一句:「 青春不要留白 

其實「留白」在生命過程中

或許是一份禮物。

庸庸碌碌的生活

突然間停頓下來(也許因意外、病痛、

人生規劃⋯)

重要的是我們要如何看待這段空白?

豈非是個機緣認清自己,

以正面的心態

重新調整生活的方向和步調。

或許也是探索新事物的好時機。


清除滿心的欲念與煩惱

才能有清淨的空間。

  

滿則溢。

留白亦是留有餘地,

以接受更多的可能性。


Once heard a saying that 

“ No blank in youth “

In fact, " blank space “ may be 

a gift in the course of life.

The mediocre and busy life come to 

a sudden  pause ( Maybe due to accident, illness, life planning … ) 

importance is how do we 

think of it ?

Isn't it an opportunity to recognize oneself, with a positive attitude

to readjust the direction and pace of life.

It may also be a good time to explore new things. 


Clear away all desires and worries 

for having a pure heart.


When the water is full, it will pour.

To leave blank might give us more leeway,

allow for unforeseen circumstances 

and accept more possibilities.

記得高中時,

被班導師指派參加校園寫生比賽,

我帶著一小盒水彩、兩支畫筆

還有學校給的一大張畫紙,

在校園一隅

定下心來,專注投入寫生的意境。


回想當時用心觀照、品味校園的一草一木

 發覺有許多被日常忽略的美好景象 )。

心情豁然開朗,信手拈來⋯

居然還獲得冠軍奬牌。


我向來喜歡用水調和透明顏料作畫,

嚮往色彩在繪畫過程中

與水互動産生的意境。


至於油畫對我來說很陌生。

日前女兒鼓勵我去學習,

體驗另一種繪畫方式。

於是我以參學的心情進入油畫世界。


起初不太習慣,

水彩畫是以亮、淺、淡的部分開始著色。

水彩的水質、色澤、筆觸 

渲染出的輕柔飄逸美感

大不同於油畫。

 

油畫上色是由深至淺,

之後是光線的刻畫。

由不同顏色的覆加

產生立體感、層次感和飽滿厚重感。

可層層融合反覆修改。

畫作完成後能長期保持光澤。

充分表現豐富的色彩和立體質感。


畫作有種種不同類型、風格,

然而充實精神世界

的心境是一致的。



When I was in high school,

I have participated in the campus sketching competition.

I brought a little box of watercolor paints

and two brushes,

also a large sheet of drawing paper given by the school.

In a corner of the campus

set my mind down and focus on entering

the artistic conception of sketching.


Looking back at that time, carefully watching and savoring every plant and tree on campus.

( I found that there were many beautiful scenes that were neglected in daily life. )

The mood was suddenly bright,

 and it was easy to come by.

Even won the championship medal.


I have always loved painting with water tones and clear paints, longing for color in the painting process, 

the artistic conception produced from interact with water.


As for oil painting, it is very strange to me,

my daughter encourage me 

to learn and experience 

for another way of painting.

So recently I have participated to learn 

oil painting.


In the beginning I was not used to.

The water, color, strokes feelings

quite differences from oil painting.

Watercolor begins to color with bright, light and light parts. 

Rendering  the light, delicate  and  

ethereal beauty.


Oil painting coloring from deep to light, and then characterization of light.

The overlay of different colors creates

 a sense of three-dimensionality, 

layering and thickness.

It can be modified layer by layer.

After the screen is finished,

 it can maintain its luster for a long time.

Fully express rich colors and three-dimensional texture.


There are many different painting methods and styles,

but intention to enrich people's spiritual world are identical.

盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 

 

舉世聞名的大提琴家馬友友, 

1955年生於巴黎。

自幼即展現不凡的音樂天賦

他說:「 從小我就被教導要講禮貌、

尊重他人,不要總以個人私利為出發點,

要知曉自己行為對周遭環境的影響。」


他也曾說: 「 人類只有透過對文化的理解

才能驅動人類生活三大引擎 :

政治經濟文化的正常運行. 」

他認為藝術的創造,

包括音樂、美術、文學、

電影等等的使命,

更重要的是對個體生命的

存在予以支持和充實,

舒緩痛苦,傳遞生命力,

賦予人們平衡的心境。

藝術打開了我們對

不同現實的想象之窗,

使我們得以在不同思維空間裡神游,

在這個過程中使我們恢復活力,

重拾希望。

顯見這位音樂家對於

人文藝術的體認熱忱與努力

給予社會莫大啓發

也造就他的卓越與不凡
